The New York Mets are thriving during interleague play, while the Detroit Tigers can’t seem to win on the road. The Mets look to match a club record for victories in a season against AL opponents Thursday night, when they try to complete a sweep of the Tigers. New York is an NL-best 11-3 during interleague play, one win shy of the franchise high of 12, set in 1999. The Mets conclude interleague play this weekend with three home games against AL Central-leading Minnesota. The success against the AL is a big reason the Mets are 21-7 since a May 21 loss to the New York Yankees to open their interleague schedule. The surge, which includes a 12-1 record at Citi Field, has returned them to the thick of the NL East race. New York showed little signs of slowing Wednesday, beating Detroit 5-0 as R.A. Dickey and Francisco Rodriguez combined for a five-hitter. The Mets, who won Tuesday’s series opener 14-6, are 5-0 at home all-time versus the Tigers including a three-game sweep at Shea Stadium from June 18-20, 2004. Hisanori Takahashi gets another turn in New York’s rotation as John Maine struggles with a sore right shoulder.
The 35-year-old rookie left-hander is 3-1 with a 3.15 ERA in six starts in place of Maine. Takahashi turned in perhaps his best performance yet Friday, scattering four hits in six innings of a 4-0 road victory against the New York Yankees. He improved to 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in three interleague starts, and has yielded one run over 13 innings while winning his last two. Mets center fielder Angel Pagan is expected to be out after suffering spasms in his right side Wednesday. The center fielder winced during a foul ball during one of his two at-bats, as his 10-game hitting streak came to an end. Shortstop Jose Reyes came within a double of the cycle Wednesday, and has six hits and six runs in this series as he continues to feast on AL pitching. Reyes is batting .417 with three doubles, two triples, four homers, eight RBIs and 17 runs in 13 interleague games.
